Why Detroit Tigers' Miguel Cabrera is back to 'DH only for the time being'

That's how Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch knew Cabrera agreed with his most recent decision. At least until the All-Star break, the 38-year-old will be restricted to designated hitter only.

Cabrera hasn't played the infield since June 22, exiting the game against the St. Louis Cardinals in the fourth inning with right calf tightness but avoiding a stint on the injured list. (Back in April, he went to the injured list with a left biceps strain.)

"I've gone back to the DH only for the time being, really just being super cautious with him," Hinch said Saturday.
